There's this thread from an Ojibwe tribe member about how their culture interacts with disability, for example. For one, there is no word in the Anishinaabemowin language for "disabled" because there is no need to make the differentiation, because anyone regardless of physical ability can meet the social obligations that the Ojibwe people find important in their community, things such as making sure your local neighbors have what they need and are okay, being available to help for familial and communal events and duties, etc. Capitalist society has to make the distinction because we fundamentally do not place importance on the very existence of disabled people, because they are considered less capable workers than abled people. Capitalism merely accomodates them to various degrees after the fact of building hostile infrastructure and practices, but the fundamental issues remain. 11 users liked this post: Keetongu, Chudder Barbarity, HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth, Orange Juice Box, MJBarret, Alpacx, Taco Bell Tower, Switters, HaughtyFrank, Potato, benji

Running theme of posts shared here is these guys saying “I’m so heckin empathetic” before talking about wanting to fight a 1 and 3-year-old. It’s been well established they don’t know what empathy is in concept or definition. But it’s weird how they invoke it as a sort of “no homo” for their psychotic babble.

Nepenthe wrote:I mean, profit at any stage is inherently exploitative to me. You're pocketing the surplus value of a service that was produced by the workers; simple as. There is not a single time in my life that I recall spending money for the services of the business owner; he's not cooking my food, servicing my health, showing me products, shipping stuff to me, or anything of note that is relevant to my living situation. If anything, it's his myopic decisions that are resulting in inefficiencies whenever I have a problem with a business, because he isn't actually on the ground doing the true labor and doesn't know what's going on. The people who actually keep society afloat have always seen the least financial compensation. It is at that point that it should be considered a feature, not a bug. It's just the quintessential childlike understanding and entitlement here. Every single thing Nepenthe uses and takes for granted exists because somewhere along the line a business owner or investor took on financial risk to provide capital and coordinate resources to give workers who didn't take that risk the ability to work in jobs to make those services possible and earn a wage. Where are those workers going to have equipment, facilities, and operations to labor in if someone doesn't take on financial risk because "profit is inherently exploitative"? The government? So who funds the government other than taxpayers, and how is that different from pooling resources under private ownership except with far less efficiency and innovation because of no incentive to compete? This is something a 12 year old should be able to understand.. We've seen this play out dozens of times and it always ends up with the same result. There is no utopia, get skills and make your life less miserable instead of trying to drag everyone else down, Larping dumbass. 12 users liked this post: Keetongu, Hap Shaughnessy, HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth, nampad, benji, Chumbawumbafan69, Potato, Uncle, Taco Bell Tower, Alpacx, Boredfrom, D3RANG3D

A lot of the continent's practices are rooted in European capitalism, and it's now being targeted by China for roughly the same ends. The same issues are going to be apparent in Central and South America and Asia too, for example. Capitalism is the global status quo; there is currently no country that is operating completely divorced from it no matter how much conservatives wanna bitch about Venezuela lol. As a result, there is no country I can point to for a hard example of anything I'm visualizing. You can tell she's just parroting Marxist talking points from one or two books she's read without any critical thinking. The world economy is not a fixed pie, if you had one braincell and looked at the historical trajectory of global poverty over the years you'd be able to see. The money supply is not the same as wealth and real output can grow and has grown - anyone can see how many can become better off all at once. Over a long period of time there are obvious widespread gains in living standards for all people that have occurred simultaneously, even if the distribution of money is unequal. Money stays unequal, but wealth (goods, services, skills, assets) goes up. If she cares about Africa so much, how come she hasn't seen the sustained growth they've experienced. Most of the entire sub-saharan conomy used to be a subsistence economy and now they have tech hubs that manufacture transistors and other high-skill formal work, and consumption rose along with increasing wealth even as populations grew...wealth has gone up, obviously more people become better off even if inequality is still there. How is 0-profit Marxism going to grow wealth for developing countries? No coordinated investment or innovation is going to keep these places fucking poor because they'll have no place with global trade and those living standards gains will go away, you evil imbecile. Why is she so intent on believing Africa cannot compete in the global system, despite the evidence showing they are growing and have a place there? It's racist and insulting. Her beliefs are so easily debunked, that she's either willfully lying to gain some kind of advantage or impossibly stupid, and I can't imagine the latter. Quote:Increasing the social hostility to capitalism will inevitably widen the environment for exploration, prompting more people with various inclinations and talents to seek out working and philosophical solutions. When you can finally imagine that there is an alternative, that there is another door that can open, you have an avenue of learning and exploration. There's plenty of literature and educational resources for example about Indigenous and African modes of thinking and living not only in harmony in the planet Quote:But the things I'm thinking of beyond decolonization are just ways we rethink what is important in society, what is good for society, and healthy ways we can achieve these goals. There's this thread from an Ojibwe tribe member about how their culture interacts with disability, for example. We're talking about MACRO-LEVEL economics. She sees Africans as an entirely different species that are just not compatible with the rest of the world's "mode" of thinking. 12 users liked this post: Keetongu, Cheers, HeavenIsAPlaceOnEarth, Hap Shaughnessy, benji, Chumbawumbafan69, MJBarret, Orange Juice Box, Taco Bell Tower, Boredfrom, Alpacx, D3RANG3D
